[BlueLemon19]

My surname is Lombardi and i really want to know were they sell those Lombardi accordions.

@14spag14 probably chinese plastic accordions crushed their productions and now they are laying their butts on street :(

Thanks so much for your informative series of videos. I'm a prefessional violinist, and I recently bought an accordion off Ebay. When it arrived from the USA the bass buttons had ended up all over the place. From your video I was confident enough to take it to bits and aside from a few reed niggles I now have a working accordion.

Your presentation is very clear and helpful.

my accordion doesnt have piano keys just buttons on both sides what is the difference between the two as far as learning?

[olekike]

i enjoy watching your video's. nice tempo and easy listening. i works well for me, when you make the link with a piano, that's where 'i come from'. hope to see for of that. :)

If you have no idea how to play accordion (like I do), you can`t learn a shit from this video...

[artboysf]

These are great video! BTW, I just bought a compact accordion and it has skinny keys. I have thin fingers but I still can't get them between the black keys. Is this wrong accordion for me or do I just need to learn the proper technique? The accordion is an old Lira that looks '40ish and is beautiful (looks nearly mint condition) so I'd hate to give it up. Please advise, thanks!

What type of accordion would I get if I was interested in playing Flogging Molly or Yann Tiersen type of songs.

[pumpkinkinggrin]

I've got a 48 button, I manage to work Yann Tiersens songs fine. He tends to focus on the major and minor chords quite a bit, so you at least want those, so the smallest you could do is a 24 button, but make sure it has Minor and Major buttons otherwise your stuffed :P Anything past 24 is good, anything past a 48 is just a uneeded handful really :P

whats the notes for that german tune she plays in 0:36

[vogellied]

That is just a quick bit of omm-pah, to play your time is 3/4, and the pattern is simple, root-major-major, root-major-major, so C-Cmajor-Cmajor, and on with any combination. You can also vary this to great affect with root-major-root. For example, C-Cmajor-F-Cmajor-C. Give it a go, bit fun and and easy way to ease in to Bavarian/Slavic style polka. Or, play 4/4 and do Root-major-major-major and you have a waltz. Cheers, I am rather new to accord. so I hope I have been more help than confusion.

[vogellied]

Sorry my response was addressed to colemisfit. Thanks for the video!!!!

[pumpkinkinggrin]

C (should have a dimple or something on it) and the C major button (to the left slightly up, on the same diagonal row)

[linkenass]

HM. and you know. AHAH thats a good one

[windblows33]

"and.. you know.." ..no I don't, that's why I'm watching a basics video ¬¬

[PhantomMigKiller]

@windblows33 The Toastmasters call those "verbal crutches". Public speaking is a skill that most of us have to learn.

[Natasha191287]

can someone tell me what brand the white accordion the lady is holding is? I am in love with it!

[jazzavox]

Its a La Burdina, about a 13 inch keyboard 96 bass. Nice jazz accordion.

Are you interested in one?

[Natasha191287]

yes I am

[OsimoTinkle]

i bought a small squeeze box for 30 bucks and got me hooked, i bought a german Hohner from a music store just the other day, its from WORLD WAR 2 O_O 400 bucks :D

[embroisured]

lol.. readed isn't a word

[salomslot]

thanks for the great videos, i was wondering how much a accordion would cost

[soapypsb]

you can get a starter cheap accordion for around $100-200 usd

[salomslot]

thanks !

[bonzifan]

@salomslot I bought one for £140, which is fairly cheep for a proper accordion. They can go up to about £50000 or more.

[MessingWithMatches]

@salomslot i looked on ebay and the range was from 10 pounds to...well over 1000 xD

[Welihy]

@salomslot It depends- they range from 200 to 2,000 dollars, or at least the ones I've seen.
